DeMarcus Cousins explains what he likes most about Warriors' mentality

Share

You know you have a reputation when you get ejected from the bench of an NBA game, especially when you're inactive and haven't even made your season debut. 

That's DeMarcus Cousins for you.

Boogie has a reputation with referees, as do some of his other teammates on the Warriors. In the 2017-18 season, Draymond Green (15) and Kevin Durant (14) were ranked second and third in the NBA in technical fouls. 

The star center has already called the reigning champions the "most hated team in sports." He shocked the NBA world when he signed with the Warriors, but it really shouldn't be a surprise that he's fit right in

"I actually prefer teammates that have emotions," Cousins said in a sit-down interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols. "It means you care, compared to a guy that's kind of just nonchalant and goes about it like it doesn't matter. So I want guys that care.

"I want guys that show they care. And that's something this team does."

Coming off two straight wins where the Warriors combined for 289 points, Green has one message for the league with Cousins set to make his season debut on Friday against the Clippers.

"All hell about to break loose." 

Buckle up. Boogie's back and it's going to be a bumpy ride for the rest of the NBA.
